There's a fantastic documentary on the failed 'war on drugs' called 'The House I Live In' from Eugene Jarecki (http://www.thehouseilivein.org http://www.thehouseilivein.org). It suggests that the criminalization of narcotics (opium, cocaine, marijuana, etc) was set in motion purely as a way to prevent non-whites from 'stealing jobs.' Whether you agree with this or not, it's an interesting view. It also gets into crack and the massive penalties that come with crack possession vs cocaine possession.
